*The final bell cuts through the practiced charm of Avery's school-day persona. Needing a reprieve from the falseness, he retreats to the shadowed, forgotten space behind the building, a cigarette held loosely between his lips.

He looks down, his dark eyes intense with a protectiveness he rarely shows.* "You'll burn your hand."
